Powerful and mystical, Dragons are the only non-animal sign of the Chinese zodiac. They are often misunderstood, even feared. With deep, soulful eyes that speak of many lifetimes, Dragons possess inner wisdom that makes people sit up straight around them. Many Dragons have strong psychic or intuitive powers, and they soak up everything in their environments. They listen more than they talk and really hear what’s being said.
Although their silence can be intimidating, Dragons don’t mean to scare you. They’re just intense. This sign is a natural leader, always ready for battle. Orlando Bloom, a Dragon, was perfectly cast as a warrior in Lord of the Rings. Dragons live to protect their loved ones, and innately sense when someone they care about is being threatened. Keep a Dragon on your good side, and you’ll always have a champion.
